TPET Trio Petroleum Corp

Trio Petroleum Corp (NYSE American: TPET) (“Trio” or the “Company”), a California-based oil and gas company, today is pleased to announce that it has closed on the balance of certain petroleum and natural gas properties held by Novacor Exploration Ltd. (“Novacor”). More specifically, TPET closed on the remaining Novacor TWP47 assets, located at the South-West quarter of Section 19, Township 47, Range 26W3M. These assets are in the prolific Lloydminster, Saskatchewan heavy oil region (the “Acquisition”). This acquisition strategically positions the Company to expand its operations into one of North America’s most promising heavy oil basins, with upside potential for long term production and reserve growth. Since the Novacor assets are in the heavy oil area, Trio believes they offer economic development and low operational costs. Trio also believes that the market accessibility combined with a favorable regulatory process makes this area very attractive for continued and future development within these lands.

As reported in the Company’s press release on April 10, 2025, the Novacor assets are located at the South-West quarter of Section 19, Township 47, Range 26W3M and the Northeast Section 3, Township 48, Range 24W3M, both in the Lloydminster, Saskatchewan area. There are currently seven producing wells located on the two properties. Production from the wells in Section 19 is subject to Freehold Royalties of 13.5% and a GORR of 2%, and production from the wells in Section 3 is subject to Freehold Royalties of 15%. The wells produce heavy crude oil from the McLaren/Sparky and Lloydminster formation(s). Novacor is the operator of these cash flow positive wells and has the capability to rapidly double production. The area is home to some of the largest players in the industry such as Cenovus Energy, Canadian Natural Resources, Baytex Energy, Rife Resources and many others who have made Heavy Oil a staple of their operation, and where numerous opportunities to acquire additional highly economic fields exist.

Important in this acquisition is Novacor’s ability to address recent fluctuations in global oil prices and their limited impact on the company’s operations. Novacor will continue as operator of the assets. While market volatility is inherent in the energy sector, the Company believes that Novacor’s strategic focus on operational efficiency and low lift costs provides a significant buffer against downward price pressures.

Novacor’s current lift cost stands at a competitive CDN $10.00 per barrel. Trio believes that this low operational expenditure will help ensure Trio maintains strong profitability even in a lower oil price environment. Trio also believes that its commitment to cost management and efficient production techniques will allow it to navigate market fluctuations with greater resilience compared to companies with higher operating costs, thus providing Trio with a significant advantage in its ability to produce oil economically in the current market.

Novacor has a long history of oil and gas development in the area. Trio’s plan is to aggressively grow its footprint in the area utilizing Novacor as an operator of the assets. The Company will continue to seek opportunities for strategic growth and optimization with Novacor’s operational efficiencies and its plan is to deliver consistent value to shareholders through a disciplined approach to operations and cost management.”

Mr. Ross, Trio’s CEO stated, “Our immediate plan is to initiate our workover program to increase production on these newly acquired assets and we believe our next couple of quarters should reflect the benefit of our work. Our focus remains on acquiring projects that generate immediate cash flow or offer transformative growth potential with strategic investment. We believe that this approach aligns with our long-term vision of creating exponential value while managing risk and resources effectively.”

Terms of the Acquisition

The stated purchase price of the Acquisition was US$650,000 in cash paid in two tranches, and 526,536 in shares of common stock of Trio, which were registered for resale in a registration statement which Trio expects to be declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission in the near future. The Company paid Novacor a good faith deposit of $65,000, which was applied to the cash portion of the purchase price at the initial closing.
